Lol - you guys are unbelievable.

A poll shows Brown up 1 in NH? Throw it in the trash.
A poll shows Begich up 10 (?!?) in Alaska? MUST BE GOOD,DEMS GUNNA KEEP THE SENATE

Alaska polling "can't be trusted" unless it yields great news for the Democrats.

Did anyone say they believed this poll was accurate?  

This is clearly a giant outlier, even regardless of pollster reputation or any other factor, it should be ignored for that reason alone.

Well, Dr. Scholl, Lief, and OC all seem to take the poll as accurate to an extent.

Thinking Begich has a small chance to win?  Reasonable.
Rooting for Begich to win, partly on account of schadenfreude?  Reasonable.
Being facetiously overconfident in order to bait Republicans into going nuts?  Reasonable.
Thinking a poll that's 13-15% different from the average of polls is correct?  Cray-cray.
